Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Sapphire ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Sapphire

The soap suds were washed away in an instant as Bulma rinsed the filthy piece of kitchen wear. She took a rag, scrubbed any sign of filth left on the plate and gazed at it in success of her work. She then dried it off and set it aside and looked upon the rest of her work. Blinking a few times, she remembered just how much Saya-jins ate, especially when it is a family get together. She sighed and grabbed another plate and started to work. She sighed again as she scrubbed, catching the eye of her fellow worker who was then putting away the dishes that were cleaned.

"Bulma, what's wrong?" She asked in a concerned tone. She had noticed that her partner had been acting awkward for the past week and it was really starting to dig in her mind. Bulma looked up from her work and smiled.

"Nothing much Rei. Just, thinking you know."

"Bulma you've been saying that all week." Bulma turned and stared at her, blinking a few times in confusion. Rei was not much taller than Bulma, just about the same height. She had nice, straight black hair that flowed down to her mid back and had nice blue eyes that sparkled if you stared at them for a while. She had a nice voice that could catch any mans heart if she wanted too. Bulma then let out a little huff.

"So,"

"So?! Whenever you sigh a lot something is always up."

"Really?"

"Yes Bulma. Tell me what's up."

"First tell me when I sighed a lot, than I'll tell you." She stated. Rei blinked a few times, trying to think of a time when Bulma was like this. After a few minutes Bulma smirked in victory.

"See. You've got nothing Rei."

"I DO TOO! I just, have to think about it that's all." Rei jumped up on the counter top and tapped her fingers on the surface still in thought of Bulma's question. Bulma grew bored with her silence and started to work again. She heard hums from Rei as she was still deep in thought, only making her smirk more. A few moments later, Rei jumped off of the counter and stood behind her.

"Okay Bulma, I give up." Bulma smirked as she set another dish aside.

"See, I told you Rei."

"But you're doing it now, so just tell me!" She exclaimed. Bulma closed her eyes and sighed.

"No Rei. I'm not going to tell you what's on my mind."

"Please?"

"No"

"Please? With sugar on top?" Bulma turned around and glared at her.

"No Rei, that's final." Bulma turned back around to continue her work when Reis arms came around Bulma's waist. She felt Reis nose nuzzle in the small of her neck, sending shivers down Bulma's spine. She hated when Rei did this, is always made her weak and vulnerable to anything. She growled lightly.

"Alright Rei! Just, stop pestering me about it will you?" Rei nodded and stepped back. Bulma spun around and glared at her friend. She smiled in return. Bulma let out a sigh that had been balled up in her throat for some time now and stared at Rei.

"It's been ten years now Rei. Ten years since I came to Vegeta-sei. I can still remember the look on my mothers face when she begged Vegeta to take me in." She stated. Rei watched as she remembered the day she came in. With her shining Blue hair, her little Saya-jin outfit. It came to a shock why she was wearing a Saya-jin outfit and made her confused in many ways. She was walking next to Velta with her head slumped down. It was obvious that she wasn't a saya-jin. She had no tail. Rei figured she was one of the captured victims from the planet they just destroyed. But when she was walked up to her room, she knew she could figure it out. Rei nodded to Bulma.

"Yes, I remember that Bulma." She stated. "I remember you telling me how your mother begged Vegeta to take you in and spare your life." Bulma nodded, letting out yet another sigh.

"Ten fucking years I have been here, hearing nothing but yelling and doing nothing but work." Her tone had changed from sorrow to anger in an instant. The thought of Vegeta ordering her around drove her to the brink of insanity. She detested him and the power he possessed. But then came the thought of his parents. Calming a bit, she blinked a few times in confusion with herself, making Rei confused as well.

"What are you thinking now Bulma? You're confusing me." Bulma shook her head and brought herself back from her thoughts.

"What?"

"You're confusing me. You were just sad, then you got pissed at the thought of Vegeta, and now you're, grinning. What the fuck is going on in your head Bulma?"

"I was wondering, where DOES Vegeta get his stubbornness from? His parents are the nicest people I have ever met yet Vegeta is,"

"The cockiest?" A voice came. Bulma spun around to see Velta behind her with a grin on her face. Bulma's heart began to race when she noticed she had stopped working. She spun back around and started to wash dishes again.

"I'm sorry Madam, I'll get back to work right a way."

"Bulma please, you've been working all day." She stated, placing a hand on her arm. Bulma stopped and looked at her smile. Velta was a beautiful woman indeed. Bulma had always admired her courage and good will towards others. Bulma smiled towards her, gained a smile back from her. She grabbed a towel and dried her hands off.

"So where does Vegeta get his cockiness?" Velta chuckled and grabbed a cup from the counter that had been freshly cleaned and placed it underneath the water fountain and started to fill up the glass.

"Probably from his father. Yet I've never seen Vegeta in a bad mood before So I don't know where my son gets it." Rei chuckled at the comment as well as Bulma. Velta took a small sip from the glass and sighed. "I was listening to your conversation. Ten years, has it been that long already Bulma?" She asked. Bulma nodded.

"Is has. I'm surprised myself in fact. I thought I would be dead by now with all of the work Vegeta makes me do."

"Well, Vegeta's very, protective over what is his." Velta stated. Bulma growled just think about herself being Vegeta's property.

"You know I don't know why he didn't kill me. It would have been so much better than keeping me here 24/7 being worked to the bone."

"Then do you want to make an appointment? I could kill you now if I wanted to." Vegeta stated from behind his mother. Velta sighed and turned to her son. He was just a bit taller than his mother and had a nice strong voice. His cocky attitude stayed about the same but his body grew much more muscular than it was ten years back. Velta sighed and grabbed his shoulder. She was about the only other person besides his father who could inflict pain on him. Vegeta cringed a bit from the pain now forming in his shoulder.

"Vegeta don't you say such mean things to a beautiful woman like Bulma. Vegeta growled and grabbed his mothers wrist, throwing it off of his shoulder.

"Beautiful? You're calling that blue haired freak beautiful?"

"Oh and you're any better Vegeta?" Bulma stated, crossing her arms and sending him evil glares. Vegeta growled.

"Don't talk back to me woman. You're my servant and I could dispose of you anytime I would like." Bulma chuckled at his remark.

"Vegeta you've said that so many times I lost count and yet you still fail to lay a finger on me. Heck I don't even think you touched me since I started to work for you." Vegeta growled, balling his hands into fits.

"You're testing my patience woman."

"Oh cry me a river Vegeta." His growling became more intense as her smirk grew.

"I don't need my hand to kill you." He stated. He turned on his heal and started to walk off. Bulma chuckled and crossed her arms in victory, imitating that of Vegeta. Velta turned around and smiled at Bulma.

"You handle him so well Bulma." Bulma smirked in success.

"Thank you Velta. Now, may I please be excused to my quarters?" She asked. Velta nodded, allowing Bulma to pass her, Rei following behind her.

++++++++++

Vegeta fell upon his bed and growled in his pillow from the frustration of his servant Bulma. He detested her with every little bit of his heart and just wished he could kill her. He growled more and threw his therapy ball against the wall, making a small dent next to the window. He sat up and balled his hands in fists.

"What nerve of that woman. Standing up to me in an argument? She is begging me to kill her I know it." He said to himself. He let out another growl as he slammed his fists into his bed. He took in deep breaths trying to calm his anger but failed to as his thoughts raced of the woman whom he called a servant. `I don't even think you touched me since I started to work for you' raced through his mind like a broken record having no force to stop it. It was true though. In the full ten years he had her for his servant he hadn't touched her. This confused the Saya-jin prince indefinite. One of the maids entered his room, concerned about his behavior.

"Prince Vegeta, are you alright?" She stated. Vegeta looked up from his trance at the woman. She had her hair up and looked concered for his well being. He growled again.

"How many times have I told you never to come into my quarters?" He asked her. She blinked a few times thinking about it.

"I-I'm sorry sir."

"Baka. LEARN TO LISTEN!" He yelled. Her breathing became dense as he stood up from the bed. "Leave now with what life you have left you wench or you'll wish you never met me." He stated, slamming his door in her face. She was startled by his force, then placed her hands in her pockets on her apron.

"What a tempered man." She said. She then walked off down the hall.

Vegeta walked to a chair that sat next to a desk and he stared down at the emptiness that laid across the wood. He was drawn back to a time when he had schooling. He was about 14 at the time, Bulma had been for him for about 4 months. Bulma was about his room cleaning up as he sat at his desk trying to conquer his math problem. She would come up and dust his lamp and pick up things that didn't belong, pestering the young prince.

"Do you mind woman?" He stated. Bulma stopped suddenly and glared at him.

"Actually I don't." She continued on her work as Vegeta growled in frustration. She was hummin a small song, making Vegeta more angered with her.

"Stop that infuriating humming will you. It's annoying."

"Well so are you but I don't complain." She exclaimed. Vegeta growled loudly, only making Bulma smirk. As she came up behind him, she noticed his struggle and crept up behind him and started at his paper. After a few moments Vegeta turned around and glared at his worker.

"What do you want now?" He asked. Bulma continued to stare at his paper, making his frustration grow more. "Get away from me you,"

"The answer is 33." She stated. Vegeta blinked a few times in confusion, then growled.

"What on Vegeta-sei are you talking about woman?"

"The math problem. It's just simple Algebra. F(f(3)) is your sub problem, after you plug in all the numbers and work out the problem you get 33." Vegeta grew confused at her knowledge, then turned to his paper and worked out the problem to notice that she was right. He turned to ask her a question but found her to be up and about working again. It still confused him, even ten years from the time how she did that problem. He sat in the small chair and sighed.

"Baka woman" He stated. He sat back in his chair, placing his hands on the back of his head and sighed. The moon light shone through his window gently lighting up his room. The small clock on his desk read 9:55pm. It had been a long day for him, and now being filled up with dinner, he was ready to set his dreams to mode and drift into sleep.

++++++++++++

Bulma curled up in her bed attempting her sleep, but there was no use. She had been to bed for about 2 hours and yet, nothing would get her to sleep. Rei sat up in bed reading as Bulma lay on her back and placed her hands behind her head and sighed, catching Rei's attention from her story.

"What is it now Bulma?" She asked. Bulma looked over to her room mate and sighed.

"Nothing. I just can't sleep is all." She stated. Rei started at her friend for a few seconds before marking her place and closing her book. She turned on her stomach and placed her head on her hands.

"Well we're both awake, do you want to talk?" She asked. Bulma glanced over to her and smiled.

"Sure. About what?"

"Hm, lets talk about, um, I dunno" She stated, grabbing a chuckle from Bulma. Bulma turned to face Rei. There was a window on the right of Reis bed, big enough to see the moon and the stars. The moon always lit up the room around 10 at night and it was always so beautiful to see. Bulma sighed, remembering home. Rei turned and sat up and stared out of the window as well.

"Beautiful." She said. She turned to Bulma and smiled. "Isn't it beautiful?" Bulma nodded and sat up, crawling towards Rei.

"It is. It reminds me of my home." Bulma exclaimed. Rei turned her head towards her friend and smiled.

"Tell me, what was it like?" Bulma glanced over to Rei.

"Haven't I told you this already?" Rei shook her head no, grabbing a sigh from Bulma. "Alright. My planet was beautiful. Green grass, beautiful flowers with a scent that could make you smile for many a year. We had picnics in the park, me and my mother. She was all I had when I was young. My father died when I was 5 of an illness that would also effect my brother. I had no other sisters. My mom was my best friend." Rei smiled at her remark about her mother.

"That's sweet. I never knew my mother. She died when I was 2. My father was killed when I was 13 and I was sold to Bardock." Bulma sighed. Rei was one of the lucky ones. Bardock was a sweet man, and his son was as well. Kakkarot is what they called him. He was a fun loving guy you could just hug forever. Bulma sighed.

"You're lucky you're not stuck with Vegeta. The Mr. Prince of Ass Holes." Rei laughed.

"Now I'm sure there are some good parts about him." Bulma glanced over to Rei.

"You're kidding right?" Bulma showed no emotion over Vegeta aside from anger. She never really thought about Vegeta being Nice. She thought there was no way he could be with PMS 24/7. Rei chuckled.

"At times I find him to be sexy." Bulmas eyes grew wide with her remark.

"Sexy? Are you fucking mad?" Rei laughed.

"No. I do find him sexy. I mean, I watch him train with Kakkarot and Bardock all the time and he has a really nice body." Bulma stared at her like she was a phyco.

"You're kidding right? Rei you can't possibly find him attractive."

"No no, not attractive, just fucking sexy." She growled like a cat only making Bulma burst into laughter. She rolled around on the bed holding her stomach from her laughter as Rei started to laugh with her. As the two stopped, they stared outside again. They both let out a sigh.

"You know Rei, you're one crazy GIRL." Bulma stated. Rei shrugged a bit and let out a chuckle.

"Yeah, I know." Bulma looked over to her and laughed again. She crawled back to her bed and chuckled a bit more.

"You always know how to get me tired Rei." She said, letting out a yawn to finish her sentence. Rei smiled.

"Well you're welcome Bulma." She said. She crawled into her bed and covered herself with her blankets, curling up in a ball. She faced Bulma's wich was next to the door, so Rei was always the first one to know who cam in the room when the morning rose into the room. Bulma always faced the window to see the sun rise. Rei snuggled in her blankets and closed her eyes.

"Good night Bulma." Rei stated, snuggling further into her blankets. Bulma smiled and closed her eys.

"Good night Rei." She stated before falling into a deep slumber. She let out a small sigh in her sleep, indicating that she was dreaming. Rei opened her eyes and smiled.

"I bet I know what she's dreaming about." She stated. Rei snuggled deeper into her blanket, curling up tighter in her ball and closed her eyes and fell asleep minutes after Bulma did.
